Quality Control

Our 2-Amino-3-Phenylpropenoic Acid Ethyl Ester is produced under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and chiral analysis, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and industrial synthesis. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and specific impurities is provided with each shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture.
